ANT-318  Art Deco - Lovely Pair of 1920 Art Deco Wall Sconces

Lovely pair of circa 1920 wall sconces.  Original antique backplates and original antique shades.

These sconces have a lovely Edwardian pewter look and a great design that is so typical of the Edwardian style.

The original antique shades are very nice.  A frosted center set off by two sections of amber.  Being antiques, there is a place “or two” where there are very MINOR flakes to the shades where they fit into the holder (not seen).  It is normal 90 year wear-tear and so very minor, but we have to mention it.

The metal of the backplates is cast metal with a lovely pewter finish.  Ready to go...nothing needs to be done except add the light bulbs of your choice.  These sconces have been completely re-wired with new sockets and all new wire.

We suggest using our neat little LED bulb 45G-E26 (picture below) if these sconces are for ambiance and less than full room light.  This little 2 watt LED bulb produces almost as much light as a 25 watt incandescent bulb, but only nibbles at the electricity.  AND....it lasts 30,000 hours.  We suggest it to prevent a bulb peeking over the rim of the shade, but we are showing it with a small incandescent bulb anyway.

Measurements:

The overall sconce height is 8”.  The maximum width (shade) is  5 3/4”.

It will project into the room from the wall 6 1/2”.

Backplate measurements:  8” tall by 4 1/4” wide.

Price for the pair:  $350.00 plus careful packing and shipping.
